Placer County Juvenile Detention

Located in DeWitt Center, the Placer County Juvenile Detention opened in 2000. It offers a safe and secure environment for youth who have been arrested within Placer County and have been delivered to the facility by law enforcement. They may remain in this location for up to 48 hours only unless charges are officially filed within that time. The Juvenile Court must also approve of their detention and agree that they remain detained until their next court date or they have finished their sentence, or they will be released back to their parents. Only short term detentions are completed at this location, generally as a sanction or probation requirement, while long term detentions will be transferred to another facility. Many programs are included within the facility to assist youth in developing social skills, life skills, and take responsibility for their own choices. Hip Hop classes help youth to engage in the arts, Healthy Relationships focus on all types of relationships including family and friends, as well as coworkers and partners, K9 4Kids provides dog therapy for those who have experienced trauma. Anger management is also offered, as well as conflict resolution, health education, and substance abuse programs.
